Piano Instructor — Evening Shifts

Responsive Recruiter

Minnesota School of Music is hiring professional music instructors who want more than a teaching gig — they want to be part of a structured, student-centered faculty. We are a locally owned, fast-growing community music school serving Blaine-area families since 2013. Our instructors mentor students, prepare them for the stage, and contribute to a culture focused on long-term development.

• No chasing payments
• No scheduling logistics
• No marketing responsibilities
• No room rentals

You teach. We handle the rest. Our full-time front office manages scheduling, billing, enrollment, parent communication, and recital production — allowing instructors to stay focused on teaching and student outcomes.
